The Central Americans are mostly fleeing from lousy economies. They hope to get a good job here and have a future while sending money home to their families. Numerous migrants in the caravan, primarily from Honduras, were saying that when asked. They weren't saying they were fleeing from a corrupt government, or war, or gang violence, etc. That's a made up narrative by those in the U.S. pushing for open borders. There are thousands of Americans and others living in Guatemala, Honduras, and even El Salvador. They aren't fleeing for their lives from ultra violent conditions. Americans are easily lead to believe that people everywhere are looking to harm others and it's too dangerous to go there. I wouldn't go walking around certain neighborhoods of many cities in the U.S., especially at night. But overall I'm safe going out at night in most of the U.S.. It varies from country to country, but even in the most violent ones that aren't at war it's safe to walk around in daytime and in busy public areas at night. Common sense measures.
